Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Wilmington, DE.

Detoxification is the first part of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can choose to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Wilmington offers medically supervised detox, which is administered with the help of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal more comfortable, utilizing prescription medications to ease symptoms and make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. An individual who is suffering with heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might decide to undergo medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to ease them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detox facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This may be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation facility to work on their addiction given that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
